About This Book

A circle of Camp Fire Girls at a lakeside camp centers on Ruth Garnier’s promotion to Torch Bearer and the social tensions that follow. Blanche plots to secure an invitation to a reunion, prompting secret schemes, rivalries with classmates, and debates about fairness. Episodes alternate between everyday school life and outdoor adventures—hikes, night watches, rescues, and encounters with a guide called Blue Wolf—testing loyalties and leadership. Through mishaps, reconciliations, and the group motto United We Flourish, the girls learn responsibility, cooperation, and the values of service and friendship.
